The Ballad of Ira Hayes (Live at Tuscarora Reservation, NY - November 1975)
La Ballade d'Ira Hayes (Live at Tuscarora Reservation, NY - Novembre 1975)
Gather
round
you
people
and
a
story
I
will
tell
Rassemble-toi,
mon
amour,
et
je
vais
te
raconter
une
histoire
About
a
brave
young
indian
you
should
remember
well
D'un
jeune
Indien
courageux
dont
tu
devrais
te
souvenir
From
the
tribe
of
pima
indians,
a
proud
and
a
peaceful
band
De
la
tribu
des
Indiens
Pima,
une
bande
fière
et
pacifique
They
farmed
the
phoenix
valley
in
arizona
land
Ils
cultivaient
la
vallée
de
Phoenix
en
Arizona
Down
their
ditches
for
a
thousand
years
the
sparkling
water
rushed
Dans
leurs
fossés
pendant
mille
ans,
l'eau
scintillante
se
précipitait
Till
their
white
man
stole
their
Jusqu'à
ce
que
l'homme
blanc
vole
leurs
Water
rights
and
the
running
water
hushed
Droits
sur
l'eau
et
le
cours
d'eau
s'est
tu
Now
ira's
folks
were
hungry
and
their
farms
wene
crops
of
weeds
Maintenant,
la
famille
d'Ira
avait
faim
et
leurs
fermes
n'étaient
que
des
champs
de
mauvaises
herbes
But
when
war
came
he
volunteers
and
forgot,
the
white
man's
greed
Mais
quand
la
guerre
est
arrivée,
il
s'est
porté
volontaire
et
a
oublié
la
cupidité
de
l'homme
blanc
Call
him,
drunken
ira
hayes,
he
won't
answer
anymore
Appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
il
ne
répondra
plus
Not
the
whiskey-drinking
indian
or
the
marine
who
went
to
war
Ni
l'Indien
buveur
de
whisky
ni
le
marin
qui
est
allé
à
la
guerre
Yes,
call
him,
drunken
ira
hayes,
he
won't
answer
anymore
Oui,
appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
il
ne
répondra
plus
Not
the
whiskey-drinking
indian
or
the
marine
who
went
to
war.
Ni
l'Indien
buveur
de
whisky
ni
le
marin
qui
est
allé
à
la
guerre.
They
started
up
iwo
jima
hill,
250
men
Ils
ont
commencé
à
monter
la
colline
d'Iwo
Jima,
250
hommes
But
only
27
lived
to
walk
back
down
that
hill
again
Mais
seulement
27
ont
survécu
pour
redescendre
cette
colline
And
when
the
fight
was
over
and
the
old
glory
raised
Et
quand
le
combat
fut
terminé
et
que
le
drapeau
américain
fut
hissé
One
of
the
men
who
held
it
high
was
the
indian
ira
hayes
L'un
des
hommes
qui
le
tenait
haut
était
l'Indien
Ira
Hayes
Call
him,
drunken
ira
hayes,
he
won't
answer
anymore
Appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
il
ne
répondra
plus
Not
the
whiskey-drinking
indian
or
the
marine
who
went
to
war
Ni
l'Indien
buveur
de
whisky
ni
le
marin
qui
est
allé
à
la
guerre
Call
him,
drunken
ira
hayes,
he
won't

Appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
il
ne
répondra
plus
Not

who
went
to
war.
Ni
l'Indien
buveur
de
whisky
ni
le
marin
qui
est
allé
à
la
guerre.
Now
ira
returned
a
hero,
celebrated
throughout
the
land
Maintenant,
Ira
est
rentré
un
héros,
célébré
dans
tout
le
pays
He
was
wined
and
speeched
and
honored,
everybody
shook
his
hand
Il
a
été
fêté,
on
lui
a
fait
des
discours,
tout
le
monde
lui
a
serré
la
main
But
he
was
just
a
pima
indian,
no
money
crops,
no
chance
Mais
il
n'était
qu'un
Indien
Pima,
pas
d'argent,
pas
de
récoltes,
aucune
chance
And
at
home
nobody
cared
what
ira
Et
chez
lui,
personne
ne
se
souciait
de
ce
qu'Ira
Had
done
and
the
wind
did
the
indian's
Avait
fait
et
le
vent
faisait
la
danse
de
l'Indien
Call
him,
drunken
ira
hayes,
he
won't
answer
anymore
Appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
il
ne
répondra
plus
Not
the
whiskey-drinking
indian
or

who
went
to
war
Ni

ni

Call

Ni

ni

est
allé
à
la
guerre.
And
ira
started
drinking
hard,
jail
was
often
his
home
Et
Ira
a
commencé
à
boire
beaucoup,
la
prison
était
souvent
son
foyer
They
let
him
raise
the
flag
there
and
Ils
le
laissaient
hisser
le
drapeau
et
Lower
it
like
you'd
throw
a
dog
a
bone
L'abaisser
comme
si
on
jetait
un
os
à
un
chien
He
died
drunk
early
one
morning,
Il
est
mort
ivre
tôt
un
matin,
Alone
in
the
land
he
had
fought
to
save
Seul
dans
le
pays
qu'il
avait
combattu
pour
sauver
Two
inches
of
water
in
a
lonely
ditch
was
the
grave
for
ira
hayes
Deux
pouces
d'eau
dans
un
fossé
solitaire
étaient
la
tombe
d'Ira
Hayes
Call

but
his
land
is
still
as
dry
Oui,
appelle-le,
Ira
Hayes
ivre,
mais
sa
terre
est
toujours

sèche
And
his
ghost
is
lying
thirsty

died
Et

fantôme
est
allongé
assoiffé
dans
le
fossé
